The variegated spider plant is a common household green plant, very suitable for keeping at home. It is extremely adaptable and ideal for placing in offices, living rooms, meeting rooms and public areas. If you want the plant to grow lushly, you need to master care techniques such as fertilizing, watering and lighting. Below, the editor brings you the techniques for getting a variegated spider plant to burst into a full pot!

Techniques for getting a variegated spider plant to burst into a full pot:

(1). Soil selection

The variegated spider plant has low soil requirements. Choose a fertile soil medium with good air permeability, which helps the plant absorb nutrients better; good drainage makes it less likely for the potting soil to become waterlogged, draining excess water in time.

(2). Watering management

The variegated spider plant likes a moist environment, so it needs plenty of water during growth, which lets the plant grow faster. During care you need to water more to keep the soil moist. In winter, reduce watering, otherwise it is not good for the plant getting through winter and can easily lead to root rot.

(3). Reasonable fertilizing

Generally fertilize once every 1 week, and it can be combined with watering so the plant absorbs nutrients better. You can dissolve a compound fertilizer in water and add an appropriate amount of a sterilization agent. In spring, you can apply decomposed bean cake fertilizer. In winter, you need to temporarily stop fertilizing; growth is slow at this time and not much nutrients are needed.

(4). Regular pruning

The variegated spider plant grows fast, and pruning gives the plant enough growing space, which helps ventilation and the sprouting of new branches and leaves. Generally, cut off old leaves, withered leaves and overly dense branches and leaves; only then can the plant bloom faster and grow more lushly.

(5). Sufficient light

The variegated spider plant can be kept in a bright spot. In spring and autumn, avoid the strong midday light, and in summer avoid scorching sun. In winter it can get light all day, which keeps the leaves greener and brighter.
